1. Which of the following values is the greatest?

• A. 2/11
• B. 5.4
• C. 13/3
• D. 6.25

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the greatest value among the given options, convert the fractions to decimal form. 2/11 is approximately 0.1818, 5.4 is a decimal itself, 13/3 is approximately 4.333, and 6.25 is a decimal. Comparing these values, 6.25 is the largest among them. Therefore, option D, 6.25, is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are smaller values compared to 6.25, making them incorrect answers.

2. How many pints are in a gallon?

• A. 2 pints
• B. 4 pints
• C. 8 pints
• D. 16 pints

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 8 pints. In the U.S. customary system, there are 8 pints in a gallon. This conversion is essential to know for various activities like cooking, measuring liquids, or understanding container volumes. Choice A, 2 pints, is incorrect as it represents half a gallon. Choice B, 4 pints, is incorrect as it represents a half-gallon or a quart. Choice D, 16 pints, is incorrect as it represents two gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 8 pints.

3. Three friends are sharing a burger. One friend eats a quarter of the burger. The other two friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the burger did each of the other two friends receive?

• A. 6-Jan
• B. 4-Jan
• C. 4-Mar
• D. 8-Mar

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After one friend eats a quarter of the burger, 3/4 of the burger remains. Dividing this equally between the other two friends means each receives 3/8 of the whole burger. Therefore, the correct answer is 8-Mar. Choice A (6-Jan), Choice B (4-Jan), and Choice C (4-Mar) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the portion each of the other two friends receives after one friend consumes a quarter of the burger.

4. Which is bigger, a mile or a kilometer? What's the conversion factor?

• A. Mile is bigger; 1 mile is 1.609 km
• B. Kilometer is bigger; 1 km is 1.609 miles
• C. Mile is bigger; 1 mile is 1.5 km
• D. Kilometer is bigger; 1 km is 2 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A mile is bigger than a kilometer. The correct conversion factor is 1 mile = 1.609 km. This means that one mile is equivalent to approximately 1.609 kilometers. Choice B is incorrect because a mile is bigger than a kilometer, and the conversion is not 1 km = 1.609 miles. Choice C is incorrect as the conversion factor provided is inaccurate; 1 mile is not equal to 1.5 km. Choice D is incorrect as it states that a kilometer is bigger, which is not true according to the actual conversion factor.

5. Gordon purchased a television when his local electronics store had a sale. The television was offered at 30% off its original price of $472. What was the sale price Gordon paid?

• A. $141.60
• B. $225.70
• C. $305.30
• D. $330.40

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the sale price after a 30% discount, you need to subtract 30% of the original price from the original price. 30% of $472 is $141.60. Subtracting this discount from the original price gives $472 - $141.60 = $330.40, which is the sale price Gordon paid. Choice A, $141.60, is incorrect as it represents only the discount amount, not the final sale price. Choices B and C are also incorrect as they do not account for the correct calculations of the discount and final sale price.
